Timeline Port Beaufort & Malgas TIMELINE FOR PORT BEAUFORT & MALGAS 1488: The Portuguese recognized the Breede River Mouth as the finest natural anchorage on the whole southern seaboard of Africa. 1576: King Sebastian’s navigator, Manuel De Mesquita Perestrello called the bay, St. Sebastian’s Bay, after “Dom Sebastiao, the most serene King of Portugal”, and the west bank “Cape Infanta”. 1790: San Sebastian Bay was surveyed by the French sea captain, Captain Duminy. 1798: During May, the Breede River mouth was visited by Lady Anne Barnard and her husband, who was Colonial Secretary under the British Administration, with Jacob Van Reenen of Slang River. 1800: Landrost Anthonie Faure reported to Governor Sir George Young that the river was suitable for navigation “up to six hours inland, with excellent safe loading – places for small vessels along either bank”. 1802: Baron Von Buchenröder visited San Sebastian’s Bay, crossed the river in a small boat and pronounced it “only three to four feet deep at low tide, thus only suitable for sloops and long flat vessels, such as one sees on the Main, Nekker and Weser in Germany”. He also found an English ship anchored in the Breede River. 1803: Dirk Gysbert Van Reenen gave the same advice (as Baron Von Buchenröder) to General Janssens. 1813: Malagas got its name from the farm belonging to Adriaan Odendaal, “Malagas Craal gelegen aan de Breede River” which took its name from a former Khoikhoi Chief. 1817: It was found that the bar was navigable by vessels displacing not more than six feet of water. Lord Charles Somerset named the east bank of Breede River after the title of his father, the 5th Duke of Beaufort. 1817: Captain Benjamin Moodie and his partner, Hamilton Ross were to bring out 10,000 Scots to South Africa. After the first 50, Ross pulled out. Moodie brought in 200 men, many of them artisans. The Scots were to pay Moodie the £20 back before or after the trip. If they couldn’t, then they must work for Moodie for 18 months. 1817: December, Joseph Barry arrives at the Cape on the “Duke of Marlborough” to purchase wine for Barry & Wilkinson, returning soon to London. 1819: Joseph Barry returns to settle at the Cape. 1820: Captain Benjamin Moodie established the Port Beaufort Trading Company and encourages vessels to cross the sandbar regularly for mercantile purposes. 1820: Benjamin Moodie built a warehouse at Port Beaufort. 1820: Some of the Cape’s merchants’ vessels brought in manufactured goods. The vessels were loaded with wheat, wine, brandy and fruit. 1820: It was this year that the coastal trade established Port Beaufort. 1820: Moodie noted the advantages given to the 1820 Settlers, so he claimed them for himself for his earlier efforts. Benjamin Moodie was given the farm “Westfield” just east of the Breede River mouth. 1822: Joseph Barry chartered the cutter “Duke of Gloucester” instead of taking the long inland route and arrived at Port Beaufort with food for the starving populace. 500 – 600 wagons were assembled on the heights above the river mouth awaiting the cutter. 1823: Joseph Barry was persuaded to open a trading store in Port Beaufort. 1823: Joseph’s nephew, Thomas, entered the coastal trade. 1824: Joseph Barry moved to Swellendam, “a small and inconsiderable place” with only one shop. 1827: Joseph Barry was insolvent following the sinking of the Sincapore with her cargo and the delay in payment from government contracts to supply the Settlers in Albany. He worked as a building contractor, post contractor and holder to clear his debts and was appointed Deputy Sheriff for the Swellendam district. 1828: January 1st. William Dunn arrived in San Sebastian’s Bay as a "Government Resident" in the Colonial Government Services to keep a watching brief for the authorities at Port Beaufort. His salary was £150 per year. His responsibilities were to keep a watching brief for the authorities at Port Beaufort. His multifarious duties included boarding all vessels entering the bay, preventing smuggling and assisting in mutinies. 1830: The Barry’s owned a substantial warehouse in Port Beaufort. Soon after 1830 Thomas Barry settled permanently at Port Beaufort. 1831: January 31st. The portion Port Beaufort No. 484 Swellendam, 1419 morgen given in freehold title by Sir Galbraith Lowry Cole for the management of a “mercantile warehouse” to the trustees Messrs. Ewan Christian, Joseph Barry and Francis Collison. 1831: October 10th. The farm “Westfield” No. 478 Swellendam, 5257 morgen government ground was granted to Captain Benjamin Moodie by Sir Galbraith Lowry Cole as a reward for his efforts in bringing 200 Scots into the country. 1832: Westfield homestead built. 1834: The iconic firm Barry and Nephews was formed in the same year that the emancipation of slaves came into effect. 1834: Joseph Barry’s premises were burnt to the ground. 1836: Joseph Barry built a Thatch (known as a wolwe-end) on the commonage at the end facing the sea. 1837: Michiel Van Breda of Oranjezigt took the chair at the first meeting of the trustees in the Commercial Exchange. There were 600 paid-up shareholders. Many city people invested in this venture. They received an erf for every £2 share they bought. 1838: Ninety shares were issued. The Swellendam surveyor W.M. Hopley laid out the ninety plots. These were drawn for by ballot, except for Joseph Barry and Captain Moodie who were entitled to the “extensive erven” upon which their warehouses were built. 1838: William Dunn crossed the Breede River and settled on the Potteberg farm Rietfontein with the adjacent farm Brakkefontein which had been transferred to his name in 1837. 1840: By this year Barry and Nephews were the undisputed “princes of the port”. 1841: Port Beaufort declared an open port allowing the Barry's to directly export wool to London and generally increasing the coastal trade. The Mountain Maid called regularly taking goods and the odd passengers to San Francisco. 1841: By this year Benjamin Moodie’s venture had for all practical purposes disappeared. 1842: February. George Leith continued William Dunn’s job after a Temporary held this position for about three years. 1842: A hawser was imported for the 'floating bridge' at Malgas. 1843: Benjamin Moodie lived on the farm Groot Vaders Bosch until this year. 1849: Barry & Nephews build the Barry Memorial Church under the supervision of Thomas Barry. The register contains names of the Reitzes, the Moodies, the Dunns and the Barry’s. 1853: The first Post Master at Malagas was Dennyson. 1854: The first erven at Malgas are laid out and Barry & Nephews buy 5 and Charles Barry 2, with another 10 purchased in 1859. 1855: Imports to the tune of £45,000 passed through customs who were collecting dues averaging £1,000 per year. 1856: Benjamin Moodie dies at “Westfield” and was buried on his farm. 1857: Joseph Barry moves from Swellendam to Cape Town as a Parliamentary Representatives, and lives in Hope Mill at the top end of the Government Avenue. John Joseph, the son of Thomas Barry, in charge of the Barry & Nephews firm at Swellendam. 1858: By this time Joseph Barry’s business was as far as Robertson, Montagu, Sweetmilk Valley (Rivier Sonder End), Bredasdorp, Heidelberg, Riversdale, Mossel Bay, Zwartberg (Ladismith) and Barrydale). 1858: Joseph Barry sent John Barry to the London office to purchase a steam driven vessel. Other Barry vessels were “The Barry I”, Barry II”, “Kadie”, “Vallisneria”, "Everton" and “Ceres”. “Barry II” and “Kadie” were wrecked at the mouth of the Breede River. 1858: February 26th. T.J. Herold, Joseph Barry's son-in-law was sent to Malagas to manage the Barry & Nephews branch there. The rambling "Geel Huis" was built for him and his family. He became the second Post Master at Malagas. 1858: By now the House of Barry reigned supreme in the Overberg. 1859: The Dutch Reformed Church in Malagas is completed. 1859: September 26th. 158 Ton crew steamer “Kadie” arrived at Port Beaufort after sailing for 81 days from Scotland. This vessel was built expressly for Barry and Nephews. On board was her commander, Captain Fowler and his family and the Rev. John Samuel, headmaster of the Swellendam Grammar School and the 15 year old Francis William Reitz who was on holiday at Rhenoster Fontein from the South African College. The trip up the Breede River to Malagas took two hours and twenty minutes. “Kadie” was piloted by one of William Dunn’s numerous descendants. 1859: John Joseph Barry elected Chairman of the Swellendam Municipality, under which Port Beaufort fell, from 1859 to 1882. 1860: The Village of Port Beaufort now consisted of about twenty buildings. Among these were the hotel and a canteen, the warehouse, customs house, Queen’s warehouse, stores, a shop and some houses. 1862: Water was scarce in Port Beaufort, and Joseph Barry commissioned the Malagas Pont maker to build a water boat. It served Port Beaufort well, and finally beached itself on the east bank opposite the woolshed where the remains can still be seen. (Next to the Breede River Lodge). 1862: “Kadie” reached Knysna to load wood for Cape Town. The farthest “Kadie” sailed was to Mauritius with a cargo of ostriches which were destined for Australia. 1864: Highlight of “Kadie’s” short life was the “Great Western Province Agricultural Exhibition” at Swellendam. “Kadie” made special trips to Cape Town with livestock and implements. Eastern Province exhibitors were fetched at Algoa Bay. 1865: Joseph Barry dies at Hope Mill in Cape Town on Sunday, 26th March, aged 70 years. The Barry & Nephews partnership agreement unfortunately called for his share of the business to be realised at a time when the Overberg economy was already hard hit by drought and swarms of locusts decimating any remaining crop.

The primary aim is to develop a methodology that combines the analysis of historical documents with archaeological survey. The literature review finds that the dominant model of 'hunter' 'herder' identity has favoured deep stratified midden sites at the expense of low density sites and the open landscape. The model is also linked to the persistence of outdated typological analysis and the lack of research into post-contact indigenous archaeology. Historical sources are reviewed in terms of their potential for developing archaeologicalTown questions as well as for designing a survey. A small section of the Breede River is identified that includes a number of locations with specific reference to Khoekhoen settlement in the 17th and 18th Centuries. Thirty seven open air sitesCape are reported from survey in this area Three large surface concentrations of indigenous pottery and a stone and aloe enclosure are chosen for a further phase of investigation consisting of surface collection and test excavation.

But we had lots of birding to do before getting to the Karoo. En route we stopped in the famous Cape wine town of Paarl for an hour or two, as Paarl boasts some excellent birding sites and is perfectly right on the way to the Karoo. Just as we entered Paarl we were glad to be able to stop for a pale-phase Booted Eagle soaring above us – we actually ended up seeing a good number of this small eagle throughout our tour. After admiring the eagle we headed for the botanical garden within the Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve, where we got acquainted with a bunch of fynbos endemics and other goodies. This trip proved excellent for raptors. As we arrived at the botanical garden, we saw a Black Harrier hunting, then later we got amazingly close views of a perched African Goshawk – a two-accipiter morning is always a good morning! Three species of beautiful sunbirds were much in evidence: Malachite, Southern Double-collared, and Orange-breasted Sunbirds.

  • Strategic Military Colonisation: the Cape Eastern Frontier 1806 – 1872
    46 STRATEGIC MILITARY COLONISATION: THE CAPE EASTERN FRONTIER 1806–1872 Linda Robson* and Mark Oranje† Department of Town and Regional Planning, University of Pretoria Abstract The Cape Eastern Frontier of South Africa offers a fascinating insight into British military strategy as well as colonial development. The Eastern Frontier was for over 100 years a very turbulent frontier. It was the area where the four main population groups (the Dutch, the British, the Xhosa and the Khoikhoi) met, and in many respects, key decisions taken on this frontier were seminal in the shaping of South Africa. This article seeks to analyse this frontier in a spatial manner, to analyse how British settlement patterns on the ground were influenced by strategy and policy. The time frame of the study reflects the truly imperial colonial era, from the second British occupation of the Cape colony in 1806 until representative self- governance of the Cape colony in 1872. Introduction British colonial expansion into the Eastern Cape of Southern Africa offers a unique insight into the British method of colonisation, land acquisition and consolidation. This article seeks to analyse the British imperial approach to settlement on a turbulent frontier. The spatial development pattern is discussed in order to understand the defensive approach of the British during the period 1806 to 1872 better.

Groundwater Assessment. Prepared by G Papini of Groundwater Consulting Services as part of the Breede River Basin Study. DWAF Report No. PH 00/00/2502. BREEDE RIVER BASIN STUDY GROUNDWATER ASSESSMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The objectives of this study were to assess the significance and distribution of groundwater resources in the Breede River catchment, estimate the amount of abstraction and degree of stress it may be causing and to indicate the scope for further development of groundwater resources. This was achieved by a review of all available literature and obtaining yields and quantities from all significant schemes. The characterisation of important aquifers and assessment of the groundwater balance (recharge versus consumption) allowed for identification of further groundwater potential. The geohydrology of the Breede River catchment is controlled by the occurrence of the rocks of the Table Mountain Group (which form the mountainous areas), the occurrence of high levels of faulting and folding in the syntaxis area of the upper catchment and the variable rainfall, being highest in the mountainous areas in the west. These factors result in a catchment with highest groundwater potential in the west, where recharge, yields and abstraction potential are greatest and the quality is the best. As a result of these factors, the western half of the catchment is also the area with the greatest groundwater use.
